MALAYSIA’S Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim is expected to announce a Cabinet reshuffle on Tuesday (Dec 12), Malaysian daily The Star reported, citing sources.
The prime minister’s office did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment on the report.
An announcement will likely be made before a swearing-in ceremony at the national palace at 3 pm on Tuesday, an unnamed official told The Star.
The reshuffle would involve several ministries, the report said.
The rejig comes a little over a year since Anwar took office in November 2022, and as he looks to strengthen his administration amid concerns over a slowing economy.
Deputy Prime Minister Ahmad Zahid Hamidi had said in October a reshuffle was needed to fill a Cabinet post left empty following the death of a minister in July. REUTERS
